Good to know. I had something like that in the past and it gave me problems for some reason. I am running through a phone to a wifi extender, to a router. My phone plan is unlimited hotspot but is only supposed to serve one device at a time. I feel like I hacked the system. I use like 400gb a month and only pay $25 a month. My whole home network runs through it. Since I switched to a SSD this morning, it's going super fast. I think the spinning disk was the major issue. I didn't realize syncing the Blockchain was disk intensive.
We are on reverse paths it seems. I'm never going back to hotspot now that I have the router. I went from 3 devices for networking down to one. KISS could go either way here.

Guessing you put a phone sim directly in the router? The ISP can tell when you are using a cell phone plan on a data-only device. You need a device you fully control (openwrt). One that doesn't ask permission
My little tower blasts internet out from the top of my little hill to like 100 acres.
I think the device I was using was just an issue. It was a Netgear part. It never would stay connected for some reason. I would prefer to have a setup that doesn't use a phone.
You either die a subscriber or live long enough to see yourself become an ISP.
Thanks for sharing your setup! Have you done a range test?
Not scientifically. But I am blown away by how far it goes. There is no interference and it's wide open desert here. No buildings. So it goes super far.
Your hotspot may be throttled. Do you use a vpn on the hotspot? They can prevent throttling.
You should switch to a openwrt cellular router, if possible. Spitz AX is a good model.
